I LOVE this technique/idea of coloring the pasta. And you can so easily buy store bought cream sauce and make it orange for a really easy dinner. I added more green coloring after the pasta was cooked to achieve a strong green color. I first discovered this recipe on Nikki Dinki Cooking's facebook page and was happy to find the whole recipe here. All her videos and pages are great!
